Summary

Former WCW wrestler Crowbar (aka Chris Ford) tells the unbelievable story of how he went from gothic hardcore wrestler to real-life physical therapist who helps injured wrestlers get back in the ring. Chris talks about getting into wrestling while still in high school, juggling college and WCW bookings, and the advice Diamond Dallas Page gave him that changed the course of his career. He explains how the Crowbar gimmick was created, what it was like teaming with David Flair and Daphne, and why working with Terry Funk was one of the biggest moments of his life. Crowbar also shares stories from WCW’s final chaotic years, wrestling Chris Benoit, Vampiro, and Sabu, and why his run ended just before the company folded. Plus, he reveals how his second career as a licensed physical therapist led him to rehabbing wrestlers like Joey Janela and AEW’s Brian Cage, why Cage flew across the country to work with him, and how knowing the human body changed the way he wrestles today.
